Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT FOR THE CACHE BUT ARE FOR ONE OF A NUMBER OF LOGICAL STARTING POINTS.

Seekers of "The Dragon Stone"! Finders of "The Sword Of Deur"! Dragon Knights! It is time.

The wings of the scaly beasts beat loudly at "The Dragon Gate" so steel yourselves, mount your steeds and undertake your dragon quest.

Prove your courage and stare into "The Eye Of The Dragon". Collect (if there are any left) a tear of "The Ice Dragon" and visit "The Well Of Fire" from whence all dragons draw their fiery breath. Cast your tear in to the well to quench the flames and deprive the dragons of their fire. Then journey on and stand your watch at "The Dragon Gate" ready to defend our world.

This is the sequel cache to "PaddyK Cache 007 : The Dragon Knights". It is not necessary to have completed this cache or become a fully fledged Dragon Knight but you must at least be an apprentice and have attended "Knights School" and sat your exam (see PaddyK Cache 007 : The Dragon Knights).

Use you exam answers and complete the following coordinates for "The Eye Of The Dragon".

S31 53. _ _ _ / E116 04._ _ _

Subtract 338 from the figure you got from adding up all the DOWN answers to complete the South coordinate. Subtract 477 from the figure you got from adding up all your ACROSS answers to complete the East coordinate.

This cache requires at least one steep ascent and descent. Your quest takes you along rocky but well established tracks. WP1 and WP2 require very minor deviations from these tracks. The cache itself requires a significant deviation through more forbidding territory requiring the courage and determination of a true Dragon Knight.

WP1 is a small 200ml rectangular plastic container. WP2 is a 1 litre cylindrical plastic container. Cache is a 3 litre rectangular plastic container. If you let the GPSR settle the coordinates should be faithful enough and since the waypoints and cache are guarded (as Western tradition dictates) by our ancient brothers you shouldn't have any problems.

The cache contains the usual requisites, finder rewards (first 6 teams only) and 10 dragon badges with cache cards; 5 knights and cache cards and 1 dragon and cache card.

The first finder reward is a dragon; dragon badge; cache card and first finder badge. Finders 2-6 should take their finder badge and 1 item of their choosing from the cache. All remaining items after the first 6 finders are trades/swaps.
